Time seemed to have passed several years, and Dong Yi finally finished speaking, and then the entire Qutai Palace was silent. The ministers lowered their heads and waited for Zhao Zheng to be furious. However, they waited for a long time but could not see any sound on the Wangshi. Wang Wan, the right prime minister, couldn't help but look up, and saw Zhao Zheng clenching his fists and pressing on the short table, gritting his teeth in a while.

Zhao Zheng was over thirty years old and had been ascending the throne for 19 years. He no longer had the innocence he used to be. He was a rational and pragmatic king. Before the crown was crowned, Lu Buwei took charge of government affairs, and after the crown was crowned, there was Xiong Qi's crutch. After Xiong Qi died, there was no one else.

The prime minister is two different concepts. The prime minister is to entrust it with the country, and the power of the prime minister is greater than the power of the monarch; while the prime minister is only the deputy of the prime minister. Although he still performs the power of the prime minister, he does not entrust it with the country and cannot compete with the power of the monarch.

After Lu Buwei, there was no prime minister in Qin State, and after Xiong Qi, the prime minister, was gone, and Wang Wan was left with a reputation as a pure king. After Wang Wan came up with Li Si, who represented the general to persuade him to completely surrender to the monarchy, and whatever the emperor said was what the emperor said.

After the Western Han Dynasty, Xiao He was in charge of the rear, and the power of prime minister rose again. Liu Bang was very worried about this but could not change it. So he appointed Zhang Cang as the prime minister and stationed in the prime minister's office (the Han Dynasty avoided the taboo, called the prime minister) to supervise and review the finances of the prime minister's office. Ji Cang was an official position of the prime minister's office. Zhang Cang was personally loyal to Liu Bang, and the supervision of Ji Xiang was immediately shattered. Liu Bang appointed Zhang Cang as the chief censor. The chief censor and the chief censor and the chief marshal were both under the Three Dukes and had the power to supervise all officials. This was the only way to determine the checks and balances.

However, there are still flaws in this arrangement. What is the Censor? The Censor is the left and right historians who follow Xiong Jing's butt every day. They record their words and deeds. If they want them to inspect the accounts of the Prime Minister, they will faint. Zhang Cang was able to act as the Censor. Because he had been acquiring the calculation for a long time, he could not be supervised.

What should I do? Since I can't supervise, I'll take off the firewood from the bottom. During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, the governor of the grain was changed to the order of the farmer, and then the governor of the farmer was used as the official of the junior official. The governor of the grain was the minister of finance in later generations, and was in charge of the state's finance, that is, the country's money bag, referred to as the Da Nei, which was opposite to the Shao Nei. Because the prime minister was not easy to supervise under the Qin system, the prime minister's money bag was taken away, which was equivalent to the 94 tax reform in later generations. Without money, the prime minister's mansion could not sell real estate, so everything was subject to the power of the king.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, this trick was no longer played. The first hero was no longer appointed as the prime minister. The second prime minister was newly established. The Sizhi was not only a censor who also planned to supervise finance, but directly supervised the actions of the prime minister. It was higher than that of the prime minister's chief officials and was only under the prime minister's. Later, even the prime minister's office was gone, and the Shangshu replaced it. What was the Shangshu? The Shangshu was just a few clerks who managed documents in Mingtang of Qutai Palace. They were originally officials of the Shaofu.

In terms of system, the power of the monarch continued to expand until the power of the prime minister completely disappeared, but some kings were able to transcend the system and take full control alone. This was the case of Zhao Zheng. For two years, with the Xiong Qitong Jing case, Zhao Zheng made drastic moves, and the Chu forces were completely cleaned up by him and could no longer turn over the Qin political arena.

Then he discovered a problem: after the Chu system management was cleaned up, the officials who filled in were not necessarily better than those of the Chu system. Chu system officials also had a constraint besides the king, which came from Xiong Qi's personal constraints - not anyone could get into the eyes of the Chu system's foreign relatives. It was not unreasonable that Marquis Rang looked down on Fan Sui back then.

According to Qin laws, officials are guilty, and those recommended are also guilty. The Chu faction must be in the Qin political arena. Although the recommended officials will not be Bai Qi, Wang Jian, nor can they be Fan Sui or Zheng Anping. The Chu officials have gone down, and the newly appointed officials without factions are uncontrollable. They dare to take any gold and be greedy for any money.

There is a way for Lu Buwei, Zhao Zheng; there is a way for Zhao Zheng, the foreign relatives of Chu. However, Zhao Zheng has no way for officials as greedy as locusts. Qin was originally supported by countless officials, including the right prime minister Wang Wan. Zhao Zheng could change it if he wanted, but he could not abandon the entire bureaucratic organization. Without the bureaucratic organization, Qin would be gone.

The four Kanto countries handed over the power of minting coins to the Ziqian family, and he was very happy, but Dong Yi, the official in charge of the millet, pointed out that what was about to happen: the corrupt officials of Qin would definitely buy bonds issued by the Ziqian family, causing the Qin State to lack gold and silver.

It has become a common practice for officials to greed for money. Zhao Zheng can still restrain himself by war. Officials transported the embezzled gold, silver and money from Qin to buy bonds from enemy countries. Zhao Zheng could not restrain this kind of act of collusion with enemies.

"King, I think this is a worry." After dispelling a few thoughts, Lang Sheng, the young master, still spoke. Dong Yi is a big neighbour, and he is a little neighbour. The big neighbour, and the small neighbour controls the entire Qin State's money, grain, materials and fields.

"Shaofuqing thought this was a worry, is it okay to buy horses and pay gold for the Shaofu?" Dong Yi made it clear that there was a reason. Qin Banliang is not a hard currency, gold and silver are hard currency. Two years ago, all the gold in the Shaofu was robbed, and the Han River, which produced gold, was lost, and the price of silk was suppressed by the Chu State. Hard currency was less and less in the Qin State.

The war became more and more serious, and the war was lost, and more and more horses were damaged. He wanted to try to exchange out the gold and silver in the hands of the officials and buy more war horses this autumn. He did not expect that the Chu State would move faster and would issue new bonds to the Four Kingdoms next month. At that time, all the gold and silver in the hands of the officials would be sucked away by the Four Kingdoms bonds.

"Minister, if gold and silver are allowed to be kept in Guandong, the Qin Dynasty will have no money to buy horses." Dong Yi repeated the previous advice again.

"Of course..." Zhao Zheng took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his emotions, and then asked, "What should I do about it?"

"Each gate should strictly investigate merchants, travelers, cars and horses, but if they see gold and silver, they will exchange them for the following coins." Dong Yi said, "I asked the king again, and no noble officials will be allowed to accumulate gold and silver in their first family. Those who have more than hardware will be guilty."

"King, this is not feasible." Wang Wan immediately objected when he heard that his subordinates had such an idea.

"King, this..." Government affairs were not something Wei Liao was concerned about, but gold and silver were related to horses, and the Qin army needed 100,000 horses. So many horses were not allowed to breed in a short time, so they could only be purchased from Rong and Hu people. "The Jing people cruised on the river, and the private salt and iron were transported from the river to the county, and the county and the county were transported from the river to the Qin State. If the king ordered the deposit of gold and silver, it would be a flock of gold and silver."

"I think the king issued an edict to persuade him politely, saying that gold and silver are the most important country, and that noble officials should change all the money for the national economy." The king did not get angry, and the ministers dared to gradually discuss, Li Si said so.

Li Si suggested to issue an edict to persuade him politely. After he said a few words, Zhao Zheng blinked his eyes, and the ministers in the hall laughed in his heart. Gold is gold, is copper or mixed copper? Who would have enough food to exchange gold for mixed copper? The four countries of Kanto are enemy countries, but the enemy countries are trustworthy, and turning gold and silver into bonds is better than piled at home. If one day they are in prison, they will not only make others cheaper, but also become another evidence of crime.

After Li Si finished speaking, the right prime minister Wang Wan said again: "For the sake of the present, we can order each pass to strictly investigate commercial vehicles and horses, and strictly prohibit the transport of gold and silver from the Qin Dynasty. In addition, the boat army has been rebuilt for a long time, so we cannot drive the Jing people out of the river?"

"No." Wei Liao did not hide it, and directly answered that he could not.

"Why can't it?" Wang Wan asked. "The Jing people's boats and oars swam in the big river, just like the Jing people's spears piercing into my body of Qin. The country's blood flows continuously, isn't the National Guard ashamed?"

"The river is more than ten miles wide, and the boats and oars are walking on it as if they are walking in the East China Sea. The Jing people can hit and cut off the warships, but our boats are defeated." Wei Liao has said this countless times.

"Master Bai Di once said that the Jing people's warship originated from the sea in the earth, so they could not invite boat-building craftsmen in the sea in the earth?" Wang Wan still didn't give up.

"Making boats is a secret that no countries have passed on. Daxia does not require boat wars, so there are no boat craftsmen. Although there are boat craftsmen in Persia, the sea in the earth, etc., they are far away and the man is unwilling to enter Qin." Wei Liao answered again.

"Oh!" Even Lord Bai Di had no choice but to sigh.

"I, I may have..." Wei Liao did not speak, and behind Wei Liao, Zhang Cang plucked up the courage to speak.

"What do you mean?" The ministers had no choice. Zhang Cang spoke at this time, obviously he had something to say.
